      • EP.205 - AI is scaring Japanese voice actors. How to avoid it destroying their careers?

        This is one of the most talked about topics in the voice acting industry in Japan.

        There is a genuine worry about how AI may completely mess up the industry, take jobs, and make it even harder for aspiring seiyuu to do what they love as a career.

        In this episode, let’s talk about some of the insights by Yuki Kaji in an interview for NHK early this year, Junichi Suwabe’s take on AI as well as the opinion from the Japanese Actors Association.

        By the end of this episode let’s cover the cases in which using AI-technology can actually be something that can benefit some seiyuu.

      • EP.204 - AI's Influence in the Voice Acting Industry & Yuki Kaji's answer

        Some look at AI as an opportunity to clone their favorite voice actor's voice, some Japanese voice actors worry about those possibilities and how dangerous it is for the voice acting industry.

        At the same time, some game studios have started using AI voices for NPCs instead of hiring professional voice actors.


        While all of this is happening, in 2024, superstar seiyuu and entrepreneur Yuki Kaji has created and launched his own synth voice (AI) to, potentially, safeguard his career as a voice actor.


        This is the 1st of 2 features on AI and its influence in the voice acting industry in Japan - specifically.
